A cross section of Washington stopped by 15th and E streets on Wednesday night, as the W Hotel officially opened its doors. Spotted hanging out at the P.O.V. Bar on the rooftop: Caps Coach Bruce Boudreau; Air America host Ana Marie Cox; Yosi Sargent of the National Endowment for the Arts; White House staffers Jon Favreau, David Washington and James Greenspun; local R&B singer Mya; former House Majority Leader Dick Armey; Channel 4 sports reporter Lindsay Czarniak; and Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, who’s overseeing the hotel’s cuisine.
One White House staffer was overheard saying that the best part about the W is that they can come over without ever really stepping outdoors — an underground path takes them through the Treasury Department building and drops them off right in front of the W doors.
